Hi all,
Today we started building some stamina with our silent reading. We talked about how stamina is being able to do something for a long time without giving up. Today we read for 3 minutes. Tomorrow we will read for longer until we build our stamina to about 20-30 minutes!! We also talked about how we can read the words, read the pictures, and retell the story to ourselves. It all counts as reading.
We did some grade 1 review in math to see where everyone is at. We finished off our art masterpieces of the first day of school. We added details to the background to give it more information and really see what pictures we could create.
We went outside for gym and recess and then came in and did a first month writing sample. I'm already impressed at how much we can write so it will be amazing to see where we get to in June!
Our line ups are getting better but we are still working on we don't touch the person in front of us or behind us. With so many kids it's easy to jostle each other around and get hurt.
Have a great night and we will see you again tomorrow.
Remember that Fridays are short days and we will be in school from 7:55-11:50. We will have a snack in class but no lunch time.
